The production schedules on most animated series (South Park not included) are incredibly long. How long?

Remember those guys? They wore silly hats and mattered for about an election and a half? Yeah, well, they finally got their due last night on that bastion of liberal propaganda that is Fox…Entertainment.

There has been no shortage of outrage and controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s contraceptive mandate, as the Catholic Church, among others, stands firmly opposed to the requirement. But despite the ongoing dispute and concerns over religious freedom, First Lady Michelle Obama praised the mandate at a campaign event on Tuesday evening.

More than 500 Catholic men recently walked a mile in the rain in Peoria, Illinois. Their mission was to show the community their willingness to defend their Catholic faith against the threats being posed by the new Obama mandate. Why? Because, as Peoria’s bishop Daniel R.

SOUTH BEND, Indiana, April 23, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - After an IRS complaint from an secularist group and other criticism, Peoria Bishop Daniel Jenky is now facing a petition by Notre Dame faculty to have him removed from the Catholic university’s board of fellows.

The action comes in response to a strongly worded homily denouncing President Obama’s HHS mandate, in which the bishop said that in his attacks on freedom of religion the president “seems intent on following a similar path” as past totalitarian dictators such as Hitler and Stalin.

No one is seeking to outlaw contraception. Contraception is readily available across the country at a low cost. Many insurance plans already cover it, and for those whose plans do not, low-cost riders are often available. Access to contraception is not threatened. The question Americans face is whether or not the federal government has the power to force people to purchase a product which violates their consciences and the free exercise of their religion, contravening the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

This month marked 2 years since Obamacare  was signed into law, against the will of the American people.

On Friday, March 23^rd, about 500 energized people stood together in Goshen, N.Y. against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate (part of Obamacare).  This law forces religious institutions to provide services that directly contradict the teachings of their faith and strips away 1^st Amendment rights.

Last month, the conservative side of politics lost a champion of truth and a strong voice in the conservative movement with the passing of Andrew Breitbart. He was a man of high intellect, vision and courage. He never backed away from a fight and was responsible for turning out those who sought to endear themselves at the public trough via their egregious actions and poor moral values. He disclosed them and brought them to the bar of justice for the American people to see and judge for themselves. He was a great example for all of us to aspire to. We cannot allow his passing to be just a closing of another chapter in the fortunes of America. We must carry his part of the burden he was so willing to share for all of us.

I called my boyfriend in the middle of the night and made him talk to me until the sun came up, so scared I was shaking all over. I thought of nothing but my imaginary cancer for three full days, until the red spot went away. My friend Destiny texted me regularly to ask how my cancer was doing.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Occupy Memphis member Mallory Pope had just finished telling a group of about 75 tea party followers Thursday night that politicians should not allow themselves to be influenced by lobbyists and unions when she received an unexpected invitation.

"It sounds to me that y'all ought to be joining us," said Jerry Rains, a 64-year-old computer programmer and tea party member. "You have a lot of the same goals we have, which is to take our country back."

Herman Cain has spent his life living and working all over the country -- Indiana, Georgia, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Washington, D.C. -- but never in Chicago.

So it's curious that all the sexual harassment allegations against Cain emanate from Chicago: home of the Daley machine and Obama consigliere David Axelrod.

1. They would rather report unsubstantiated allegations and gossip than report the real issues, because talking about the real issues would not be in the best interest of the president. 

President Obama is traveling around the country, proposing a stimulus bill that has already failed once. Instead of having an honest discussion about whether or not a plan that already failed once will fail again, the establishment would rather distract the American people with gossip.

Once upon a time there was beautiful young girl named Americana. She was born into the world with rosy cheeks and a twinkle in her eye that set her apart from all the rest. She was endowed by her creator with an inalienable beauty that engendered envy among her league of nation peers, even though they enjoyed great bounty from the goodness of her heart. Here it was day, and there it was night…some things were wrong, but most things were right. She held us ‘till the morning light…Americana.

Our debt increased by $203 billion in October. That's $203,000,000,000.00! That's Interest my fellow Americans, and this Marxist printed more money and handed out over $1 billion alone to 2 shell companies created by a Billionaire named Kaiser to funnel money into Obama's 2012 campaign, and the other, the same type of scam, set up and created by Pelosi using her brother in law! The money was being funneled into Obama campaign through private fundraisers set up by these criminals using the money printed and stolen from the US Treasury (the taxpayer).

RUSH: Okay, moving on now to the Herman Cain saga, last night I got a note from a friend. "Rush: The Politico website's gone nuts.  They've just unleashed attack after attack after attack."  So I went to The Politico website, I looked at The Politico website, and I started laughing because my friend was right.  I just had a different interpretation.  I looked at 'em as going over the edge.  There must have been five or six different links to Herman Cain stories about "the women," about lawyers for "the women," about how Cain has blown up the security or the confidentiality agreement, about how the women want to come forward. They can't wait to come forward, but there's in confidentiality agreement. They're doing everything, and I couldn't stop laughing looking at The Politico website.

Our trip to Pomona to the United Tea Parties Rally, on October 15th, 2011, began with conversation about how our Country has changed since we were in school. We reminisced about how our Social Studies and Current Issues classes gave us the tools to understand how our Government was supposed to protect us, and how talk radio had been a source to keep us informed of what was transforming. But in recent years it seems as if this idea of political correctness has somehow undone all common sense and logic. We spent nearly three and a half hours on the road from the Central New York area to Pomona and had expectations of meeting people like us that are fed up with how our Freedoms are being eroded, and at an alarming rate. And thank God for people like Jennie Maney and her husband John for providing us a resource on the web with a connection at Citizens 4 Freedom (C4F). Without these key people, events like this one for The United Tea Parties would not get their word out to the masses, and events like this would go unnoticed.

The Republican establishment will lie to get Mitt Romney, the media’s favorite Republican, our nomination for President.

It’ s up to us to teach people the truth.  We have to explain the differences between a Republican and a conservative to people new to politics because the Republican establishment and Karl “Tokyo” Rove types will lie to them.

It wasn’t that long ago that Republican moneymen and operatives in Washington were moping around K Street like Eeyore in the Hundred Acre Wood, lamenting their party’s extremist image and casting about for a candidate with a chance of beating Barack Obama in 2012. Citing what he called the “near self-immolation” of House Republicans during the debt-ceiling fiasco, Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, worried in early August that a “large number of Republican primary voters, and even more independent general-election voters, will be wary of supporting a Republican candidate in 2012 if the party looks as if it’s in the grip of an infantile form of conservatism.”

America is undergoing a revolution. Two revolutions, to be exact. One is made up of hardworking families who believe that what matters -- or should matter -- are their good efforts, minimal government intrusion in their lives, and a fair but free enterprise system that incentivizes small businesses and doesn't countermand that incentive by imposing a burdensome tax liability.

The other revolution is made up of people who believe that both government and those who are successful in life owe them something; that the United States should be a nation of equitable distribution, and not one of free enterprise. Sadly, the polling tells me that these two nations within one are meeting in the middle. They don't share beliefs, but they are sharing similar frustrations.

“It’s a slow learning—from the inside out
A slow turning—but you come about”
John Hiatt “Slow Turning”

In the tradition of the left-wing’s penchant for coining new words (such as “homophobia” and “Islamophobia”), I feel that “we the people” ought to have a word to describe the Progressive’s fear, or phobia, of freedom—“freedomphobia.” LinkLink   

The core fear of Freedomphobes (freephobes) is the dread of taking personal responsibility for anything.  They love the “blame game,” and blame anything and everyone but themselves, for all of their woes—real or imagined. The more controlled and regulated their environment the better, to their thinking—makes it easier to know who and what to point their finger at. Freedom scares them.

SOMETIMES, attention should be paid to the absence of news. America’s economic miseries continue, with unemployment still high and home sales stagnant or dropping. The gap between the wealthiest Americans and their fellow citizens is wider than it has been since the 1920s.

And yet, except for the demonstrations and energetic recall campaigns that roiled Wisconsin this year, unionists and other stern critics of corporate power and government cutbacks have failed to organize a serious movement against the people and policies that bungled the United States into recession.

So, there has been much debate about a recent Marist Poll that shows Sarah Palin within 5% of Barack Obama and whether or not this is a fluke. For one thing, the numbers are actually closer to 47% Palin, 47% Obama, a tie. The Marist poll actually oversample Democrats compared to Republicans by 8 points, and oversamples both of them with Independents. (There has been a rise in Indy voters, but not to the tune of almost 40% of the population. Using historical trends, the anticipated 2012 Voter Turnout rate is 36% D, 36% R, 28% I. If your prefer the Rasmussen Partisan Preference it’s essentially a 3-way tie at 33.5% R, 33% D, and 33.5% I. In either scenario, you end up with a 47-47 tie.

They also want him to eliminate a  policy that they say discourages the state police from enforcing federal immigration laws.

After holding a press conference about it at the Capitol, the group delivered petitions from more than 3,000 Texans who want the governor to act now.

Question: Does ones very existence affect inter-state commerce?

This is the very question that lay behind the individual mandate (the requirement to purchase health insurance under penalty of fine and/or imprisonment) in Obama Care (the Affordable Care Act).

Wow! It’s really flattering that radio talk-show host Thom Hartmann is attributing the Concord Project with the Tea Party taking over the GOP. The fact is, though, the GOP is still filled with those who would compromise the Constitution and bankrupt our country. Taking over the GOP has barely begun and, more importantly, the Tea Party (and other conservative activists) taking over the GOP involves many more people, groups, and organizations than the Concord Project.

And–no surprise–the real terrorists are the Democrat in chief and his pals. As she explained to Sean Hannity on the network the liberals love to hate

I stand here in abject stupefaction.  The so-called "right" or "Tea Party" in this republic is being so thoroughly rolled and defeated that I am struggling to come up with an adequate violent submission metaphor that does not involve prison rape . . . and they honesty think that they're "winning."  Really?  You call this winning?

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.

Rep.

But that's on top of the other $2.2 trillion of spending that we do. So, this isn't just $2.4 or $2.8 trillion worth of spending, we have the full budget which is another $2.2 trillion. These numbers -- this is like saying 'we embrace being Greece.' I don't."

Today is July 19, 2011. Prior to the last week, I rarely (if ever) heard a strong voice expounding the 3 principles of the tea party and that we need to strictly adhere to those narrowly defined principles. All of a sudden, like a wave crashing on the shore I have been preached to by people from many corners of the state that the Tea Party principles are fiscal responsibility, respect of the Constitution, limited government, and the tea party avoids “social issues”.

On July 12, 2011 4 brave individuals filed a lawsuit against the NY Board Of Elections, NY Republican, & NY Democratic Parties.

An injunction was filed on the same day which required all 62 counties in the state of NY to accept Petitions with the Committeeman title.  The lawsuit and injunction could not have come at a better time.  For example, on July 13 several Monroe Tea Party folks were denied their petitions because they had the “wrong title and the positions were already filled” according to Orange County Board of Elections Commissioners.

I don’t want to repeat a lot of the great points that Erick has made already about the McConnell “contingency deal.” The proposal is a dereliction of duty and everything that we all hate about Washington.

That's just the reality of political life.  As much as we like Mark, forgive him his indiscretion, and appreciate him individually, we feel we deserve representatives who honor their campaign commitments.  Or maybe we don't, if Marie and Charles' opinion is any gauge.

In the election of 2010, voters sent you to Washington to do two things: (1) End Obamacare and (2) pull us back from the brink of financial ruin.

Frankfort — FRANKFORT — If you wonder how influential the tea party is in Republican circles, you aren’t watching very closely.

David Brooks, the moderately conservative columnist for the New York Times and a protégé of modern conservatism’s founder, William F.

For me, this is what the United States of America is. After looking at her voting record in detail, not some BS special on TV or some entry on some Blog, I decided on the next president of the United States of America as soon as I read this:
Michele Amble was born on April 6, 1956, in Waterloo, Iowa, the second of four children and the only girl. Her childhood was modest. Her parents owned a small home and rented out the top floor for income. Her father was studying to be an engineer. When Michele was four, the family moved into a three-bedroom rambler. “It was probably lower middle class,” she said, “and then, as families do, we moved up to middle class.” She was baptized and raised in the Lutheran church.

In a serious of anecdotes about the behind-the-scenes workings of the weeks leading up to Friday’s historic vote to legalize same-sex marriage, The New York Times reports that Sen. Greg Ball was looking for major campaign help if he were going to vote “yes” himself.

Ball, a Republican from Patterson, Putnam County, wanted to know that national Republican figures—namely, former Vice President Dick Cheney—would be willing to campaign for him for taking the politically risky move of backing gay marriage.

Ball: A no who’s proud of his work on the issue

Capital Confidential

He pushed for religious protections, but Sen. Greg Ball, R-Putnam County, declared he will be voting no on same-sex marriage. (We expected this.)

From Ball:

“Knowing that marriage equality was likely to pass, I thought it important to force the issue of religious protections. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the distinct opportunity of listening to literally thousands of residents, on both sides of this issue, by holding an undecided stance. I thought it was important to listen to all of my constituents and hold an undecided position until the actual bill language was written and everyone’s voice had been heard. Now that the final text is public, I am proud that I have secured some strong protections for religious institutions and basic protections for religious organizations. The bill still lacks many of the basic religious protections I thought were vital, and for this reason, and as I did in the Assembly, I will be voting ‘no.’”

Okay, this is just getting ridiculous. A few weeks back, we noted that Senators Amy Klobuchar, John Cornyn and Christopher Coons had proposed a new bill that was designed to make "streaming" infringing material a felony. At the time, the actual text of the bill wasn't available, but we assumed, naturally, that it would just extend "public performance" rights to section 506a

of the Copyright Act.

How much money did Washington recently spend to train Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job?
 

Incredibly, Washington is spending $2.6 million training Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job. This is the kind of wasteful spending that President Obama and Congress have stubbornly refused to cut. Instead, they planned to raise taxes on families and entrepreneurs by trillions of dollars! Only action by citizens like you will break the Washington liberals of this kind of frivolous splurging.
